Vietnam Cuisine Restaurant, Orlando

The chefs at Vietnam Cuisine set out to make good on the restaurant’s simple and telling name, introducing taste buds to traditional Vietnamese meals such as steaming bowls of pho beef noodle soup. They also cook up savory rice vermicelli, fried-egg sub sandwiches, and meaty rice platters to further acquaint guests with the country’s cuisine without the hassle of dog paddling across the Pacific Ocean. Bartenders present tasty elixirs, pouring beer and wine next to an assortment of nonalcohoilc fruity shakes, boba teas, and Vietnamese iced coffee mixed with sweetened condensed milk. The pastry chefs show tongues what they're made of on weekends, whipping up exotic specialty desserts that put a sweet cap on feasts.
